DANIEL WALTHER, or DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

I M PROVEM ENT IN STOVE-LEGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 199,763, dated January29, 1878; application filed November 22, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL WALTHER, of Detroit, in the county of Wayneand State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement inStove-Legs; and I do declare that the following is a true and accuratedescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of thisspecification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a section of astove-bottom with leg attached. Fig. 2 is a like view of a section of astove-bottom with the leg detached. Fig. 3 is a like view of thestove-leg detached.

Like letters refer to like parts in each figure.

The nature of my invention relates to anew and novel construction of astove-leg, and manner of attaching the same to a stove-bottom, so thatit will not be liable to become detached accidentally.

In the drawings, A represents a section of a stove-bottom, provided witha downwardlyprojecting flange, a, which,inturn, isprovided with aperforated projecting lip, b.

The leg B is made substantially of the form shown, with its frontprovided with a recess, (1, of the form and size of the lip 12, and witha perforation, coincident when the parts are in juxtaposition with theperforation in the lip b.

The top of the leg, which is designed to al low the flange a to restupon it, is provided with rearwardly and upwardly projecting flanges h,k, and l, and the latter terminates in an upwardly and rearwardlyprojecting lug, m, which is designed to pass through the slot 12 in thestove-bottom from below and jhook upon the upper surface of said bottomwhen the leg is in place. i

A plain screw or a thumb-screw, 1', is employed to hold the leg inplace, the screw entering the perforations in the lip and recess of theleg, one or both of which are threaded for that purpose.

I am aware of the patent granted February 3, 1874, to-J. Ziegler, andhereby disclaim the same; but

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The combination, with the stove-bottom A, having the slot 1 anddepending lip 12, of the leg B, provided with the recess 01, flanges h k"l, and lug m, all constructed and arranged substantially as describedand shown.

DANIEL WALTHER.
